Apache Wicket 6.7.0 released

The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 6.7.0!

This release marks the seventh minor release of Wicket 6. Starting
with Wicket 6 we use semantic versioning for the future development
of Wicket, and as such no API breaks are present in this release
compared to 6.0.0.

New and noteworthy

webfonts are now supported

Our resource guard that prevents access to classpath resources that
are not intended to be shared through the web server is a whitelist
of permissable resource extensions. Typically images, JavaScript
files, stylesheets are on the whitelist, but the file types for
webfonts were blocked. From Wicket 6.7 and onward you can now embed
webfonts with your components and link to them from your stylesheets.

Render a page or component to a String

One of the issues that keeps propping up on the user lists is the
ability to render a page or component to a String so that you can use
Wicket to render HTML email messages. Now you can use
ComponentRenderer to
actually do so without having to resort to other less obvious methods.

ComponentRenderer exposes two methods: renderComponent and
renderPage and they do exactly what their names suggest. Happy
emailing!
